Hi all
I have a superbuild project where I need to patch a library (HDF5) after download. In Windows, there's no "patch" or "sed" command, and this has to run on other people's computer. I can almost achieve what I want in Powershell like so get-content ConfigureChecks.cmake | %{$_ -replace "H5_HAVE_TIMEZONE 1","H5_HAVE_TIMEZONE 0"} > xx;move-item -Force xx ConfigureChecks.cmake (all on 1 line). Unfortunately, Powershell has now converted the file in some other encoding (I guess UTF-8), which doesn't make sense for the subsequent compilation. Supposing I could resolved that, I have trouble passing this to PATCH_COMMAND. I tried ExternalProject_Add(${proj} ${${proj}_EP_ARGS} . PATCH_COMMAND powershell -Command "get-content ConfigureChecks.cmake | %{$_ -replace \"H5_HAVE_TIMEZONE 1\",\"H5_HAVE_TIMEZONE 0\"} > xx; move-item -Force xx ConfigureChecks.cmake " . ) But the semi-colon doesn't seem to work 2> Performing patch step for 'HDF5' 2> ForEach-Object : Cannot bind parameter 'RemainingScripts'. Cannot convert the "move-item" value of type 2> "System.String" to type "System.Management.Automation.ScriptBlock". 2> At line:1 char:50 2> + ... cks.cmake | %{$_ -replace "H5_HAVE_TIMEZONE 1","H5_HAVE_TIMEZONE 0"} ... 2> + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2> + CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [ForEach-Object], ParameterBindingException 2> + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CannotConvertArgumentNoMessage,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.ForEachObjectCo mmand Trying to split it up as 2 commands (for instance the first powershell and the next cmd, but I could have used powershell as well) PATCH_COMMAND powershell -Command "get-content ConfigureChecks.cmake | %{$_ -replace \"H5_HAVE_TIMEZONE 1\",\"H5_HAVE_TIMEZONE 0\"} > xx" move /Y xx ConfigureChecks.cmake gives almost the same error message (but now with "move" as opposed to "move-item") Anyone any suggestions? Many thanks Kris
